The Apples in the Oranges Challenge is a celebration of community, collaboration, and the beautiful trails of the South Mountain Reservation. Sign-up for $10 on here & then make sure you're registered separately for each of the four Apple races through their respective pages (registering for just the Apples in the Oranges Challenge does not automatically register you for any races).
